The terrifying aura was brewing, and Xia Feng locked his sights on Long Lin's neck.

Amid all the fearful gazes, the sword was drawn.

Long Lin's entire body trembled slightly.

However, no one died.

The cold blade was only five centimeters away from Long Lin's flesh.

He turned his head to see a pair of snow-white little hands gently holding Xia Feng's wrist.

"Husband, the Qingxue Sword I gifted you is not worthy of killing such a vile person."

"Besides, today is our wedding day; it's not appropriate to take lives."

Beneath the red bridal veil, a clear and crisp female voice spoke up.

Upon hearing this voice, the murderous intent in Xia Feng's eyes instantly dissolved, replaced by a flood of tenderness.

He sheathed his sword again and then slowly turned his head.

The other nine Saintesses also walked over, surrounding Xia Feng from behind.

Although they did not speak, their message was the same.

Li Qingxue stepped forward; she was their collective voice.

Xia Feng paused for a moment, then slowly nodded.

"Since you all have spoken, I'll spare his wretched life."

"Remember, the only reason you're alive is because of them."

Xia Feng turned his head, looking coldly at Long Lin.

Truth be told, Xia Feng could have ignored the rules and killed Long Lin. At worst, he'd bear the infamy and tolerate being spat upon in the future.

It was just because Long Lin had come to threaten him on his wedding day.

For this day, Xia Feng had put in a lot of effort.

But the Ten Great Saintesses disagreed; they were already Xia Feng's women, constantly thinking of and worrying for him.

They absolutely would not allow such a vile person to tarnish their husband's reputation.

That is why Li Qingxue came forward as their representative.

Seeing Xia Feng's killing intent toward him vanish, Long Lin's heart was suddenly stirred like a turbulent wave.

His mission was about to succeed, so how could Xia Feng stop?

He came here to seek death, to use his own blood to taint the name of the Great Xia Empire!

"Today, I've seen the true face of the Imperial Prince of the Great Xia Empire—just a coward!"

Long Lin shrieked, piercingly dissatisfied with Xia Feng's restraint, even tinged with anger.

"I insult you and your country, yet you dare not make a move just because of a few words from women?"

"It's laughable—this is the Imperial Prince of the Great Xia Empire. I can't believe your entire Great Xia Empire now takes orders from women like some spineless softshell turtles!"

Long Lin laughed recklessly, completely ignoring the angry glares from others.

"Do you really want me to kill you that much?"

Xia Feng turned around, but the coldness on his face was gone, replaced by a half-smiling expression.

Long Lin couldn't help but shiver at this expression, but there was no turning back, so he continued provocatively.

"I mean, the Imperial Prince of the Great Xia Empire is just a useless fool who listens to women; even the civil servants and military generals behind you must be the same!"

"No wonder your army is so weak, crumbling under the mighty forces of our Rizhao Empire!"

"Indeed, as the leader goes, so goes the army!"

"Regardless of whether you kill me today, to avenge Princess Qinghe, the army of our Rizhao Empire will surely flatten the Great Xia Empire!"

As expected, these words provoked the wrath of everyone from the Great Xia Empire.

Even Xia Tianming's eyes flashed with violent intent!

But he restrained himself, not because of rules, but because today was Xia Feng's wedding day!

On the wedding day, there must be no bloodshed. He would not allow his grandson's wedding to be overshadowed by bad omens.

"Impressive, truly impressive."

Hearing this taunt, Xia Feng immediately laughed. He handed the Qingxue Sword to the beauty beside him and then clapped his hands as he walked toward Long Lin.

"Provoking me to the point where I lose control and kill you?"

"Saying such things, I see you've come to our Great Xia Empire with a death wish."

"So what if I have!"

Long Lin sneered, having already torn his mask away, he was utterly fearless.

"If you don't dare kill me, then wait for me to return to the Rizhao Empire with pride, becoming a celebrated story!"

"By then, your Great Xia Empire will be the laughingstock of neighboring empires!"

"And you Xia Family people will all earn the label of cowards!"

"The choice is yours!"

Long Lin spoke decisively, and indeed, if Xia Feng truly didn't kill him, he could become a hero who dared confront the Xia Empire's Imperial Prince and lived to tell the tale!

How to choose?

It was his wedding day with the Ten Great Saintesses; should he kill?

Xia Feng smiled; the ten women had already stopped him, so naturally, he wouldn't act.

He knew the ten women had also fantasized countless times about their wedding day.

Earlier, he was a bit impulsive, but now that he had regained his senses, he would never let death overshadow this day in the Celestial Water Hall.

"You think that by not killing an envoy, I'm powerless against you?"

"You want to die with honor, ruin the reputation of my Great Xia Empire, and gain fame alone? All I can say is, you're dreaming."

"I may not kill you, but I can show you something a hundred times more painful than death!"

Suddenly, Xia Feng's aura exploded as he stepped forward and kicked Long Lin.

Long Lin's abdomen was hit by a force, and now he curled up like a shrimp, even vomiting his breakfast.

Clearly, Xia Feng held back, otherwise, with just one kick from a Martial Sovereign, Long Lin would have turned to ash.

"Great Dragon General!"

Xia Feng shouted!

"At your service!"

The Great Dragon General slid forward and knelt before Xia Feng, clasping his fists fiercely.

He lifted his head, eyes gleaming—it was his time to shine!

"The Rizhao Empire has insulted us and the Great Xia Empire. Although the emissaries cannot be killed, we can't stand idly by!"

"Heed my command, take these four people down, break their limbs, turn them into human swines, and throw them to the border of the Empire."

"Let the Rizhao Empire see clearly that if they dare provoke our Great Xia Empire, they must have the strength and courage!

Xia Feng's words shook the three people accompanying Long Lin, changing their expressions drastically!

Being turned into human swines was a fate more terrifying than death!

Immediately, all three emissaries went weak at the knees, collapsing to the ground—they gritted their teeth, exchanging glances as if planning something.

Long Lin's expression suddenly changed; he couldn't allow his companions to beg Xia Feng for mercy!

So, he erupted with the power of an Earth Tier Ninth Layer Martial Saint and swiftly charged at the other three.

In his hand was a poisoned dagger, clearly intent on killing them!

But he forgot where he was.

In the Celestial Water Hall, not only were there dozens of Martial Sovereigns, but the number of Celestial Tier Martial Saints was also countless.

Attempting to kill here was a fool's errand!
